Moving into a new home can be one of life’s great joys, but it can also be a time of uncertainty, especially when it comes to decorating. How do you make your space look its best while reflecting your personal sense of style? Do it well and you’ll end up with a comfortable, happy home. Do it poorly and you’ll end up with a hodge-podge of furniture, fabrics and paint colors that never congeal into a pleasing whole. With a little planning, and by following the same steps used by professional interior designers, you’ll have a much greater chance of success.
Interior Decoration: Laying the Groundwork
To reach the finish line, you first have to know where you’re going.
Don't Start in the Furniture Store
Many have heard the advice to avoid grocery shopping when you’re hungry, because it leads to poor choices. The same holds true for furniture stores – don’t go shopping in a panic, just because you have an empty home. Yes, you need a sofa. But if you pick the pink-striped sectional just because you like it in the store, without taking measurements or thinking about the rest of the room, you’re stuck with it. The rest of the room will have to be built around that sofa, and if it’s too large for the space it will look forever awkward.
Start in the room you’re looking to furnish, armed with a measuring tape and a notepad.
Know Your Measurements
Matching the scale of furniture to the scale of a room is critical. A deep sectional sofa can easily overpower a small room and svelte chairs can get lost in a wide-open loft. Before you start designing, measure the length and width of each room you intend to decorate, along with the ceiling height and elements that could get in the way – stairs, columns, radiators and other obstructions. It’s also a good idea to measure window openings, along with the wall space below, above and to the sides of each one, to get ready for window coverings.
“The first mistake most people make is that they buy things that are the wrong size – sofas that don't fit in the room, sofas that don't fit through doorways, tables that are too small, desks that are too big, nightstands that hang into the doorway,” said David Kleinberg, founder of the New York interior design firm David Kleinberg Design Associates. Carefully measuring your space can help avoid such problems.
Create a Floorplan
Once you have the measurements of your room, it’s time to put them to use with a floor plan that gives you a bird’s eye view of the entire home. “Every job should start with a floor plan,” said Alexa Hampton, the president of Mark Hampton, the New York interior design firm founded by her father. “You need to know the space.”
One option is to draw a floor plan the old-fashioned way, with paper, a pencil and a ruler. However, most professional designers use drafting software like AutoCAD. In between those two extremes are apps that aim to make it easy for homeowners to create simple floor plans (some even automate measurements with your smartphone’s camera, but double-check those numbers), including Magicplan, Floor Plan Creator and RoomScan Pro.
Once you have the outline of the space, start experimenting with the placement of furniture, making sure that the footprint of each piece is scaled to match the size of the drawing.
Decide How You Want to Live
This is the tricky part, and there are no right or wrong answers. Rooms can be traditional or modern, formal or relaxed, and visually warm or cool. “To the best of your ability, you have to try to discern how you would like to live in a given space,” said Ms. Hampton. “What will you be doing? How many people live there? Are there children? What are your ambitions for how you would like to live?”
The decoration of a home for someone who regularly hosts large dinner parties, for instance, should be different from a home for someone who eats out at restaurants every night. The person who plans to host lavish fundraisers should have a different living room than the person who dreams only of crashing in front of the TV.
Copy the Pros
Look in design books and magazines, as well as at online resources like Houzz, Pinterest and Instagram to sharpen your personal style. “Figure out the style that you respond to most,” said Brad Ford, an interior designer in New York City, and develop a dossier of favorite images.
Once you have images you like, study the details, advised Mr. Kleinberg. “See where pattern is used versus where solids are used, and where color can be used successfully or not,” he said. It will also help inform everything from the type of furniture you might like to a potential strategy for window coverings.
Tape It Out
To take ideas on a floor plan one step farther, use painter’s tape in the real space to outline where furniture will be placed on floors and against walls.
“We use blue tape on the floor to box out different elements,” said Anne Maxwell Foster, an owner of the New York interior design firm Tilton Fenwick. “Where will the rug be? Does it need to be cut? How far is the coffee table coming out? Even though we have everything down to a sixteenth of an inch on a furniture plan, there's something helpful about visualizing it in the space, and being able to walk around.”
Develop a Budget
There’s no getting around the math: If you splurge on an unexpectedly expensive chair, you’ll have less money available for the rest of the home. “You want to make sure you're being strategic about how you spend your money,” said Mr. Ford. “A budget gives you a roadmap for how to divide the costs of things between rooms.” You can still make an exception if you find a one-of-a-kind dining table, he noted, but in order to pay for it you have be thoughtful about where else you can cut back.
Plan the Phases
Finishing drywall, refinishing hardwood floors and painting ceilings is all messy work. If at all possible, it’s better to have this type of work completed before moving any furniture or accessories into the space.
If it can’t be avoided, seal large furniture under plastic drop cloths and accessories in boxes with tape to protect them.

Entryway Ideas
The foyer or entrance hall creates the first impression, so make it count.
Make a Statement
Don’t hold back. “That room is the power moment when somebody walks into your home,” said Suysel dePedro Cunningham, an owner of the interior design firm Tilton Fenwick. “It can say so much about your personality and design taste.”
For that reason, a wall finish that might seem like too much for a living room or bedroom may be ideal in a foyer. “It’s a place where you can do a bold color, a lacquer or a wallpaper for a ‘Wow’ moment that you might be scared of in a large living room,” she said.
An added benefit? Statement-making wall coverings and finishes tend to be expensive, but because foyers are usually small, these products can often be installed without breaking the bank.
Design to Your Routine
With a few key furniture pieces and accessories, you can make your daily arrival and departure sequence a breeze. “Typically, it's not a huge space, so you're working with a limited number of pieces,” said Mr. Ford. If you’re the kind of person who likes to drop everything when you walk in the door, “a console with drawers is great, because it’s a nice place to hide your keys and mail,” Mr. Ford said. Or, in the absence of drawers, a bowl, tray or other sculptural container can serve as a catchall to help keep things organized.
A bench or a stool or two that slide under the console can provide a place to sit while lacing up shoes while taking up minimal floor space.
Another helpful element is a wall-mounted mirror, said Mr. Ford. “It gives you one last chance to check yourself before you walk out the door.”
Plan for the Weather
As the first space people enter when coming from outside, the foyer has to deal with a lot – ice, snow, rainwater, mud and whatever else Mother Nature decides to deliver. To avoid having these things creep into the rest of the home, you need to deal with them at the front door.
The effort begins even before you cross the threshold. “I like to have a mat outside the door, so people can wipe off their feet before even stepping inside,” said Mr. Ford.
Inside, you can follow up with an indoor-outdoor rug. An umbrella stand not only keeps umbrellas handy, but also prevents wet ones from draining on the floor. Storage bins or baskets, which can be stowed under a console (if the space isn’t taken by stools), can contain soggy hats and mitts. If your foyer doesn’t have a closet, buy coat hooks or a rack. These are all functional pieces that can serve double-duty as decorative elements as well.
Dining and Living Room Decor Ideas
The main living areas, whether they are separate rooms or combined in an open-concept space, set the stage for life with family and friends.
Create the Palette
You can see colors, patterns and metal finishes online, but digital images are mere approximations of what the real things look like. Wherever possible, order color chips, fabric swatches and material samples to be sure finished products will meet your expectations. “You can order samples from most vendors, and it’s always best,” said Mr. Kleinberg. “Some colors blend together,” when viewed on a screen, he added, and it can be difficult to differentiate cool and warm tones.
Don’t just look at the samples in isolation. Pin them to a board or put them in a tray to see how well they work together. “All greens play nicely together,” said Mr. Kleinberg. “All blues fight.” Putting samples side by side is the way to see if different colors and patterns will live in harmony or tension.
Ms. Hampton sometimes goes one step farther. “When we’re working on a fabric scheme, we’ll put the fabric on the copier, reduce it, cut it into the right shape for the floor plan and paste it down,” she said, “so we can see how the various fabrics spread through the room.”
Treat the Walls
Paint colors are notorious for appearing different hues in different light conditions (and seeming to change between the paint store to home). This effect is only amplified once you slather it on four walls. For that reason, it’s never a good idea to commit to a paint color when you first see the chip in a store. Look at the largest chip you can get in the room you plan to paint, at a minimum. Better yet, paint large sample patches on walls or on boards that can be moved around and view them at different times of day.
Note: As long as you test the color before painting the entire room, there’s no reason to be scared of bold, saturated colors.
Once you have a color selected, choose the sheen. Matte or flat paints offer a pleasant gauzy appearance that also hides wall imperfections, but can be difficult to maintain, clean and touch up. “I tend not to do matte walls, in general,” said Ms. Hampton, who prefers paint with an eggshell or satin finish that is just slightly glossier and easier to scrub.
Baseboards, moldings, doors and other trim can be painted the same color as the room to make them visually recede, or a contrasting color — usually an off-white in a room with colored walls — to make them more of a feature. Trim can also be painted with a different sheen than the walls. A semi-gloss sheen will bring more attention to moldings while adding durability.
You should also decide how you want to treat the ceiling. You can paint it white for a crisp feel, or the same color as the walls for a cocooning feel. It’s safe to use a matte or flat sheen because the ceiling is rarely touched by dirty fingers or smudge-creating objects. If the surface is perfectly smooth, it can also be painted with a glossy finish as a design feature that reflects light down into the living space. (If your ceilings aren’t smooth, don’t do it — the glossy sheen will only highlight imperfections.)
For something unexpected, consider looking beyond paint. Manufacturers offer a multitude of alternatives, including patterned wallpaper, grass cloth, upholstery fabrics, wood paneling and even stone and brick veneer.
Choose the Furniture
Working from your floor plan and inspiration images, choose the specific pieces of furniture — the sofas, chairs and tables — that will make the space livable. Depending on the desired vibe, you can go in wildly different directions.
For a traditional room, focusing on a symmetrical layout often helps — for instance, installing a sofa and coffee table centered on a fireplace, with matching armchairs on either side. “A very symmetrical space can be beautiful and formal,” said Ms. Hampton. On the other hand, “if you choose a sectional sofa, it’s probably going to be a less formal space,” she said, with an asymmetrical layout.
Seat height is also important. Sofas and lounge chairs in the same room should have seats that are at similar heights to avoid some people sitting much higher than others. In general, lower seats offer a casual, laidback feel, and higher seats come off as more formal.
Whether the space is casual or formal, there is a rule of thumb to keep in mind: The number of dining chairs should roughly match the number of spaces for lounging. “That’s an old truth my father shared with me,” said Ms. Hampton. “If you’re planning to have 12 people at a dining room table, you should have 12 seats in the living room,” for entertaining before and after the meal.
How Things Flow
No living room sofa or chair should be an island of its own. When people sit down, they almost always need a place to put a drink or book, as well as light to read by. Place a coffee table or end table within easy reach of each seat, along with a table or floor lamp.
No one wants to stub a toe on a chair leg, so you’ll also want to ensure there are clear walking paths through the living room, and that no furniture blocks part of a doorway or makes it necessary to squeeze by.
Will your living room have a TV? If so, plan for a wall mount or a media unit to hold it, as well as a path for cables that won’t be unsightly.
Do you plan to host buffet-style dinners? If so, a credenza or sideboard near the dining table will allow you to serve in one space rather than having guests traipse through the kitchen.
Add Rugs
A living room with hardwood floors but no rug looks naked. For visual and literal comfort, add a rug.
There are three common strategies for doing so:
- A room-filling rug. Install a rug that covers almost the entire floor of the room, leaving a border or just a foot or two at the edges. This usually works best in smaller rooms.
- Seating area rugs. Break a larger room down into multiple seating areas by using rugs to visually hold each group of furniture together. Or, in an open-concept space, use a rug to hold the living area together, while allowing the dining area to sit directly on the wood floor.
- Layered rugs. Pile smaller rugs on top of a larger one to create extra visual interest while reinforcing the layout of the room.
Be generous when selecting sizes. A small rug under the coffee table that doesn’t reach the legs of sofas and chairs will look like a raft lost at sea. The rug should extend about halfway, or fully, under the furniture at its edges.
Finish With Art and Accessories
The last step to finishing any room is to add art and accessories, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach. In a minimalist space, it might be just a few objects; in a maximalist space, it could involve displaying entire collections and layers of objets d’art.
Go back to your original inspirational images and study the way those rooms are accessorized. Do they mix candles, boxes, bowls and books together, or is there just one vase on a table? Is there a single artwork above the sofa, or a freeform gallery wall?
Be sure to consider your functional needs. A tray on an ottoman can contain remote controls. Throw pillows provide extra back support for deep sofas and chairs. A magazine rack can keep reading materials out of the way. Attractive baskets are ideal for tidying up children’s toys in a hurry.
Bedroom Decor Ideas
Designed correctly, a bedroom can serve as your nightly sanctuary.
Plan the Furniture
It’s called a bedroom for a reason: the bed is the key piece of furniture. As such, it should be given pride of place in the room, most likely with the headboard positioned against one wall and paths for walking on both sides.
“Don’t shove a bed in the corner,” if at all possible, said Nick Olsen, a New York City interior designer. “They’re impossible to make, and uncomfortable for two people to use.”
One exception: children’s bunk beds. Because they already have safety rails that usually only allow access from one side, there’s no reason not to have one in a corner.
If there’s space, install nightstands on both sides of an adult bed for convenience. They could be simple small tabletops, tables with a single drawer for storing essentials, or something larger. “Consider whether you need extra storage space,” said Mr. Olsen. “You can use two dressers for nightstands,” to provide space for folded clothing.
Do you like to watch TV in bed? If so, you’ll want a dresser, cabinet or console table near the foot of the bed that can hold the TV while providing additional storage (unless you plan to mount it on the wall or spring for a motorized stand).
Many designers also like to put a single chair in the corner of a bedroom, not only as a place to rest but also as a landing pad for tossed clothing and personal accessories when you’re in a hurry.
Make It Soft
Because the goal is to create a space that feels calm and inviting, a bedroom is probably not the place to use bold colors or graphic wallpaper. “I would avoid anything that feels aggressive,” Mr. Olsen said. “Even though I like bold colors in my decorating, I like paler tones in the bedrooms: gentle blues, greens and yellows.”
Some designers even upholster bedrooms walls for a literal soft touch.
Underfoot, Mr. Olsen advocates adding some kind of textile to warm up cold, hard floors – either wall-to-wall carpeting, a large rug that extends underneath the bed or smaller rugs on either side of the bed, and perhaps at the foot of the bed.
Make the Bed
There are many different ways to make a bed, and the subject of whether or not you should use a top sheet has been the subject of fierce debate in recent years. Much comes down to personal preference and whether you desire a bedroom that feels casual or formal.
It’s possible to make a bed with nothing more than a fitted sheet over the mattress, a nice duvet and a couple of pillows. But for something a little more formal, you need more layers.
Mr. Olsen has a very specific way of making a bed, which he says was passed down to him from the designer Miles Redd, who learned it from the doyenne of decorating, Bunny Williams. “I do a fitted sheet, a top sheet, and some kind of blanket, which varies in weight based on the season – a cotton blanket for summer or a wool blanket for winter,” said Mr. Olsen. “Then, four standard-sized pillows, usually down, which I stack. Then a decorative pillow stacked against the standard ones. Then, I do a down duvet with a cover folded at the foot of the bed.”
Mr. Olsen recommended keeping the sheets simple – perhaps hotel-style white linens with a subtle embroidery detail at the edge – and bringing in color and pattern with the top two pillow shams and decorative pillow.

Control the Light
The ability to control light – both natural and artificial – is important.
If you’re sensitive to sunlight when sleeping, you want to have the ability to eliminate it completely. The best way to do so is with a blackout roller shade or a Roman shade with a blackout lining. However, sunlight will still usually leak into the room at the edges of the shade. To block it, add curtains with a blackout lining.
At night, it’s helpful to have layers of lighting. An overhead light allows you to illuminate the whole room quickly, but may not do much to set the right mood.
A pair of lamps on bedside tables usually offers a more appealing glow. Many designers use table lamps as well as wall-mounted lamps, either hardwired or plugged into an outlet, on either side of the bed. The table lamps provide an ambient glow, and the wall-mounted lamps provide directional light for reading. “It’s nice to have both, but they shouldn’t compete for attention,” said Mr. Ford. “You want a super simple table lamp and a really decorative sconce, or vice versa.”
In terms of control, “Every light should be on a dimmer,” said Mr. Olsen – good advice for every room of the home.
Kitchens and Bathrooms
Customizing these spaces can add personality without requiring a gut renovation.
Evaluate Cabinets and Counters
Changing kitchen counters is no small undertaking, but switching from an inexpensive material, like laminate, to a luxurious one, like marble, granite or quartzite, can significantly change the overall appearance of a kitchen or bathroom.
The kitchen backsplash is another area ripe with opportunity. Even if you leave the existing counters in place, you can add or replace an existing backsplash using a favorite tile made from ceramic, glass, metal or cement.
If kitchen cabinets and the bathroom vanity cabinet are simple and in good shape, it’s often possible to paint them a new color for a different look. If the cabinet doors have a design that looks dated, you can sometimes keep the existing cabinets carcasses, and replace the doors only.
In the case of a cheap bathroom vanity, it’s often economical to replace the whole thing. Many companies offer prefabricated vanities, complete with matching tops and sinks.
Focus on Things You Touch
Simply replacing cabinet pulls with new hardware can significantly change the look of a kitchen or bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom faucets are also no place to skimp – you touch them every day, so choose models that not only look good, but also have handles that feel reassuring when you turn them, and heads that offer the functionality you desire.
In a bathroom, this line of thinking extends to accessories as well – quality towel bars, robe hooks and toilet roll holders can all give the room an upgraded appearance at minimal cost.
Refresh With Textiles
There’s no point in having nice towel bars if they’re holding frayed or mismatched towels. Recycle your old ones and buy new towels and washcloths in a single solid color (you deserve it). For a decorative accent, add patterned hand towels.
If there’s a mildewed shower curtain around the tub, replace it with one made from a pleasing material like linen, or a glass panel.
If the bathroom or kitchen floor leaves something to be desired, but you don’t want to go to the trouble or expense of tearing it out, you can cover it with a large woven vinyl rug or mat from a company like Chilewich or Bolon.

Don't Forget the Powder Room
Because it’s so small and used infrequently, a powder room is the perfect place to let your inner decorator run wild with bold colors and wall coverings.
“If you entertain, it’s so much fun to make it an unexpected, cool element,” that will surprise guests, said Mr. Olsen, who has designed powder rooms with wild wallpaper and mirrored wall panels.
That sentiment was echoed by Ms. Maxwell Foster: “Find a wall treatment you love, and just go for it.”
Finally, remember that decorating should be fun. By starting out with a plan, and following the same steps used by the pros, you’ll make the experience significantly less stressful that going at it in a haphazard fashion. And, hopefully, you’ll end up with the ultimate prize: the home of your dreams.
55 Chic Home Decorating Ideas

Find Another Spot for Flowers
Alison Gootee
If you constantly keep a vase of flowers in your kitchen or living room, extend that love for fresh blooms throughout the house. It's the perfect excuse to invest in a new vase for your bedroom or bathroom. In this New York apartment designed by Katie Ridder, a globe-shaped vase adds a nice bubble detail. Or if the upkeep for real flowers is too much, go for faux alternatives.
2
Swap Out Art
Shade Degges
Whether you have a few tiny frames—like in this bedroom designed by Jae Joo—or medium-sized ones on a gallery wall, you can easily swap them out with fresh finds. Tear our pages from a coffee table book, or stop by a flea market for new works.
3
Add a Mirror
Robert Peterson / Rustic White Interiors
Place a large mirror above your mantel as HGTV star Alison Victoria did in her Atlanta loft, or dedicate another empty wall space—whether it's in your hallway, entryway, or bedroom. Not only will it look good, but it'll make the room feel bigger and brighter.
4
Refresh Coffee Table Books
Paul Costello
If you can't resist a good coffee table book, bring a new one into your collection. Or if you keep them in various parts of your home, simply rearrange your stacks for a new look. Here, in a living room designed by Barrie Benson, the four stacks could easily be given a new layout and order using only the books on the table.
5
Attach Decor to a Shelving Unit
Genevieve Garruppo
Don't have any more room on your walls for art? No problem. Hang anything from paintings and sconces to plants and bookmarks on a shelving unit. Here's a tutorial for how to hang art on bookshelves to guide you through the process—which includes tips from designer Marissa Bero, who has pulled this move in plenty of home libraries, including the one seen here.
6
Set Up a Cozy Reading Spot
Heidi Caillier Design
No designated reading nook? No problem. If your home doesn't have any leftover real estate to convert into a reading nook, design your formal living room to serve double duty as a cozy lounge area. Here, Heidi Caillier strategically chose furniture with fabrics and shapes that are both sophisticated and homey, perfect for entertaining or unwinding alone.
7
Don't Be Afraid of Black Paint
Farrow & Ball
The soft black paint color in this bedroom makes it feel special and intimate in ways you'd never be able to achieve with a lighter hue (this specific shade is Farrow & Ball Railings). The eclectic furniture lends itself nicely to the darkness, too, adding a more lived-in and homey vibe.
8
Style an Empty Fireplace
Reid Rolls
Rethink how you style an empty fireplace. In this texture-rich environment, interior designer Leanne Ford turned an empty fireplace into a little gallery to display pottery and artwork.
9
Treat Your Windows
Victoria Pearson
Adding the right window treatment can make all the difference. We're especially into Roman shades with a fun pattern. "It goes against decorating 101, but using small patterns together can be easier on the eye," says interior decorator Kristin Panitch, who designed this dreamy pink cloud of a bedroom.
10
Re-Style a Bookshelf
Fiona Lynch
From the inky stained wood to the modern side chair and clean-lined ladder, this home library designed by Fiona Lynch is a gorgeous contemporary take on traditional design. You could fill it with books—or you could add in decor accents and accessories like vases and sculptures to break up the monotony of a wall of books. Or, color-coordinate your books. Not only will it feel more cohesive, but if you've got a lot of bright colors in your collection, they'll stand out even more.
11
Set up a Breakfast Nook
John Gruen
Breakfast with a view? We're in. This one is country-chic and just a touch rustic but still polished. It also proves you don't need to have an actual built-in nook to achieve the right vibe.
12
Spruce up Your Entryway
If you don't have a grand foyer—or you do but it needs some love–introduce a small console table. For a formal yet modern aesthetic, opt for a traditional table and then hang modern abstract art above it. Then lean some portraits against the wall for a laid-back take on the gallery wall.
13
Just Add Sheepskin
Leanne Ford Interiors
If any area in your home is feeling austere, sheepskin throws are the easiest solution. They bring in warmth, texture, and comfort while also being super affordable and easy to move throughout your space as your needs and moods shift.
14
Swap Out Your Throw Pillows

Throw pillows are the easiest way to freshen up in the bedroom or living room. Introducing a new color, print, or shape with a throw pillow can make the whole space feel new again.
15
Bring a Stool Into the Bathroom
Annie Schlechter
Slide a stool next to the bathtub. Not only will the extra surface space help with organization, but it's also a great way to make the whole space feel more luxe.
16
Show Your Powder Room Some Love
Peter Murdock
It's easy to overlook a room when it's super tiny, especially because there simply isn't enough useable space for décor. But it's definitely possible—and well worth it—to show these nooks some love. Take this powder room, for example. With a light blush pink wall color and a surrounding gallery of eclectic artwork, the small room packs a lot of punch.
17
Install a Canopy
Fantastic Frank
If you want to transform your bedroom into a palace fit for royalty, add a canopy. This white gauze fabric hangs so beautifully and brings an ethereal look to the minimalist bedroom.
18
Swap Accents Seasonally

Plaid? For winter? Not even close to groundbreaking, but we're still here for it. Swapping out accents seasonally will also get you excited for what's to come.
19
Get Inspired by Nature
Leanne Ford Interiors
This space is rich with texture, which creates warmth and dimension. There's also plenty of character even though it's sticking to a strict color palette. For a similarly inviting and grounded environment, get inspired by nature. Think seagrass, rattan, jute, wood, brushed concrete, and marble.
20
Reupholster Your Furinture
Nicole Franzen
Reupholstering your furniture will automatically freshen up an entire space. And if you love eclectic decorating, take notes from this impeccable living room. All the juxtaposition in this room is working so well—the angular mirror, vivid orange art, marble fireplace, rustic stool, and geometric pottery are all unexpectedly complemented by the softness of the blush pink chairs.
21
Simply Tidy Up
Mikael Axelsson
This probably isn't what you want to hear since we don't think of cleaning up as fun, but adding a few pieces that ease organization can make a huge difference. Consider installing coat hooks or bringing in a stylish coat rack coat by the front door. Then place a small folding chair underneath it to sit on when you take off your shoes. This will prevent those dreaded (and previously inevitable) clothing pileups.
22
Color-Block Your Wall

For a graphic statement, color-block your wall. Paint half of it a bold color or opt for two neutral tones. Here, black creeps up about a quarter of the way while the rest is a nice shade of steel gray, creating an understated-yet-unique statement.
23
Touch up the Walls
Alexander M. Reid
Freshen up a bathroom by giving the walls a fresh coat of white paint. If that sounds like too much of a commitment, use a magic eraser to touch up smudges. It's bright, refreshing, and the perfect blank backdrop for a fun gallery, as seen in this bathroom designed by Alexander M. Reid.
24
Apply Accent Wallpaper
Catherine Kwong
You don't have to wallpaper your entire room—just pick a wall and accent with it. It's fast, easy, and makes a big difference.
25
Layer Rugs and Patterns
WILLIAM ABRANOWICZ
This eclectic home designed by Sean Scherer is a treasure trove of antiques, whimsical fabrics, and fearless decorating. It's also a masterclass in layering. Why use just one rug when you could have three? Layer rugs in varying colors, prints, and textures to add visual interest to your floor.
26
Rethink Your Gallery Wall
Annie Schlechter
If the walls in a hallway are feeling tired or lackluster, add a gallery wall. Bring in antique frames, or hit up a thrift store or flea market, and arrange a ton of hand mirrors into a gallery wall.
27
Introduce a New Throw Blanket
Robson Rak
Putting a colorful throw blanket at the end of your bed or flung over the sofa is an easy but transformative design trick. It's also a great way to experiment with colors and prints before fully committing to them.
28
Opt for Statement Art
PHOTO: Alexandra Rowley; DESIGN: Studio DB
Make a simple wall a little more exciting with oversized artwork. Choose large-scale photography or something abstract and vibrant to really make a statement.
29
Install New Lighting
Studio Ashby
If there's anything that can single-handedly polish off a room, it's a light fixture. Case in point? That brass pendant light. It feels much more refined and sophisticated than a table lamp would and contrasts with the more traditional elements throughout the bedroom.
30
Paint Your Floors
Thomas Loof
Can you imagine how simple this bathroom looked before it had a bright blue floor? The quick change allows the tub to take center stage. We'd want to soak in there all day long.
31
Put a Bold Floor Lamp in the Corner
Studio DB
This little corner is sleek, stylish, and perfectly handsome as is, thanks to the modern leather lounger and graphic rug. But that floor-to-ceiling lamp is an architectural stunner that really brings in that added wow factor. Look for a floor lamp that doubles as artwork for a similar vibe.
32
Introduce Contrast
Catherine Kwong Design
To create an interesting contrast, replace one thing in an otherwise totally traditional room with something super modern, like this geometric coffee table and abstract-painted floor.
33
Add a Bench at the End of Your Bed
Nicole Franzen
You don't need a footboard. A bench will get the same job done. It'll help anchor your bed, act as a spot to sit and put shoes on, and serve as storage for extra pillows and blankets.
34
Rearrange Your Furniture
Nicole Franzen
Symmetry, who? Your chairs and couches don't have to line up—in fact, you don't even have to have chairs. Put your side table in the corner flanked by two sofas, and if you don't have enough armchairs for a classic living room setup, just place floor cushions by the coffee table.

Go Minimalist
Leanne Ford Interiors
Pare your stuff way down and your room will look totally different. This doubles as a makeover and spring cleaning all in one.
36
Add a Statement Tablecloth
House Beautiful
A bold, patterned tablecloth can instantly make a traditional space a little more eclectic. This one picks up the blues in the wallpaper.
37
Play With Proportion

This exquisite living room is playing with shape and scale in so many ways—each design detail offers a universe of inspiration. For extra impact and proportional intrigue, hang an oversized mirror. Keep it simple and sleek, opt for a cool shape or color, or keep it classic with an antique.
38
Put Your Collectables on Display
Leanne Ford Interiors
If you've been collecting something for a long time and aren't sure where to put your knick-knacks, install a floating shelf in your room of choice and then line them up. We love the sense of nostalgia these vintage glass bottles add to the bedroom.
39
Screw in a Colorful Light Bulb
Black Lacquer Design
For an unexpected (and easy) pop of color, trade in your classic bulb for a bright one. It adds the same vibe as a neon sign without taking up any space on the wall. Try it in a hallway or entryway, where décor moments are precious and square footage is limited.
40
Introduce Florals
Robson Rak
Adding a nice floral arrangement can beautify a whole room on its own. The shapely vase, accompanying artwork, and unique rose gold faucet in this bathroom don't hurt either.
41
Add Seating to Your Floor

You could sit on your couch—or you could sit on the comfiest floor pillows ever. We'll take the latter.

42
Swap Your Window Shades
House Beautiful
You've been there and done that with fabric drapery and Roman shades, so swap your window treatment for an alternative texture, like bamboo. We're swooning over this wild bathroom.
43
Mix in Metallics
House Beautiful
Does anything make a statement like something shiny and gold? Add a metallic light fixture, sculpture, or vase to instantly upgrade your room.
44
Update Bedding Seasonally
Courtesy of Ronen Lev for Nicole Franzen
Jonathan Scott, home design expert and brand ambassador for Stearns & Foster, recommends owning two sheet and comforter sets, so you can swap them out by the season. "In winter, you want warm and inviting bedding, like faux fur and bulky blankets," he says.

45
Wallpaper a Small Space
Nicole Franzen
Wallpapering a small room or closet will give it a surprising edge. Do the whole room, or just use scraps to line drawers, cabinets, and backsplashes. You could also opt for a statement ceiling.
46
Create a Statement Wall
Jonny Valiant
Designer Zim Loy discovered Harkerware on eBay: "There's tons of it, and it's so cheap!" She started collecting it for her dining room, then covered the whole wall with plates to create the same effect as one big piece of art. (Here's how to hang your own plate wall).
47
Move Furniture Away From the Walls

Floating furniture away from the walls creates more intimate seating. That means all you have to do is shift your furnishings a few inches to totally transform the vibe in a room.

48
Add Cozy Textiles
Courtesy of Tessa Neustadt
Printed, colorful textiles add so much personality. And as if the bright-colored rug and sleek mounted lights weren't enough, this bedroom has also got a seriously swoon-worthy pendant. The Moroccan-inspired fixture adds eclectic appeal and helps anchor the space.

49
Show Off an Antique
Courtesy of Tessa Neustadt
The copper tub is obviously the star of this bathroom, but it doesn't have to feel dated. A ladder and cool, bohemian rug help it feel more modern.

Recover Your Furniture
David A. Land
The super-easy way to switch up your furniture game? Buy a slipcover. It'll be much quicker than fully reupholstering a piece.
51
Ditch Your Coffee Table Base

If you've got a marble-top coffee table, take it off and place it on the floor. Prop it up with some books for a bohemian update.

Lay Down a Rug

Boho? Rustic? Traditional? The rug you choose can instantly change the whole aesthetic of your room.

53
Mix and Match Chairs
Miki Duisterhof
Swap out your formal chairs (in this case, bright blue and green ones) for a few rustic metal ones. This creates a more casual atmosphere in the dining room.
54
Hang a Colorful Curtain
JULIAN WASS
For the entrance hall of this Pennsylvania farmhouse, designer Jeffrey Bilhuber opted for a curtain instead of a door. The deep yellow fabric pops against the regal blue wall color and adds rich texture to the space.
55
Add Color on Open Shelves
NGOC MINH NGO
Open shelving allows for fast and easy decor changes. Blue accents stand out against a neutral palette.

The interior decoration of the cottage in a modern style - 35 examples with photos
The interior decoration of the cottage always corresponds to the architectural style chosen for the construction. But there are many more directions in interior design than in architecture, so decorating a comfortable and beautiful interior is not easy. This is an art in its own way (and I must say that there are no rules in it that cannot be broken). The atmosphere at home, first of all, is created for life: where it is pleasant to live, you want to return. nine0003
1 — For example, this cottage is built in a classical style, but the project was used twice.
2 — In the first case, the owners preferred the classics when creating the interior.
3 - The interior of the other house is decorated in a country style, and the fireplace decoration looks completely different.
To better understand yourself and your desires, it is desirable to have an idea of the main current trends. Furnishing and decorating a cottage is not a cheap pleasure, and it is sad in a year or two to come to the feeling that you are uncomfortable in it. We will consider 5 popular design trends, leaving aside stylizations on historical themes (Empire, Baroque, Rococo, and so on) for now. nine0003
Classic - comfort and elegance
Actually, it refers to all interiors, where not a single feature is expressed in an exalted (underlined) form. A harmonious color palette in the decoration of the walls, symmetry and the absence of catchy decor - what could be more pleasant than such an environment? There are a great many design options: against a moderate background, you can “draw” any pleasant touches that will bring individuality and variety to it.
4 - Leading beige wall color goes well with mahogany furniture and sofa. The dark brown table is in harmony with the fireplace and leather armchairs. nine0003
5 — A contemporary Mediterranean style with white dominating interiors.
6 — The living room is furnished as if in black and white graphics, which are softened by a large number of shades and smooth silhouettes of upholstered furniture.
7 - Modern classics with eclectic elements - a win-win option when choosing a design for a country house.
8 — The interior of the house is very simple: plaster and white paint. As an option, any pastel shade can be chosen. nine0003
9 — Modern kitchen furnishings: simple, beautiful and comfortable.
10 - Restrained mint color and cozy upholstered furniture.
11 — Against the background of a simple light wall decoration, every detail of the interior stands out in relief
Country style, which has no age . It always has ethnic features: there is American, English, Russian, French country (Provence). All of them are similar to each other in the main - the simplicity and ease of rural life, and are absolutely different in details - after all, each nation has its own habits and tastes. nine0003
See also: Stove in a private house - interesting design ideas
12 - The snow-white interior and pastel shades in furniture and textiles are reminiscent of the "French" country.
13 - Kitchen design in a modern English house, stylized in the "old times".
14 — Spacious wooden house decorated in a "modern" country style. It is reminiscent of simple wooden furniture, colorful rugs, tinted "lining". However, the music center and the fashionable central fireplace are signs of the current century. nine0003
15 — The dining room has the same great mix of modern and traditional design elements, skillfully combined into an overall ensemble.
16 - Snow-white walls, natural wood tone and funny "miracles" from the nearby forest.
Light surfaces are not to everyone's taste, and people's perception of the color palette is not the same. Shown below are two country-style finishes, where the design is built on bright, saturated colors.
17 — Summer always blooms in a cottage with such an interior. nine0003
18 - Favorite colors of Provence: blue lavender and yellow sunflowers.
Loft - industrial aesthetics
The very idea at first glance seems incompatible with the concept of a cottage, because it evokes completely different associations - high-rise buildings with panoramic windows, and city landscapes, along with the noise of a metropolis that lives day and night. A classically built loft is like a jazz melody "indastrial" that sounds in the autumn city twilight.
However, many successful examples have been created where this loft looks organic in the interior of a private house. Especially if it was immediately built according to the idea, or an old abandoned building is actually used. “Loft” in translation is just “attic”, and therefore it easily and harmoniously “gets along” in a cottage with an attic, stairs, and a second light. nine0003
19 — Interior design of a loft-style cottage.
Traditional materials were used in the decoration of the fireplace: brick, aged wood. Reddish-brown and blue colors are also characteristic signs. The combination of the rough texture of the walls, the ceiling and the delicate intricate furniture, which seems to have come here from another life, looks interesting and unusual. The classic “indastrial” theme is successfully played up, where elements of eclecticism and retro are almost always present. In a country house, such an interior seems unobtrusive and natural. nine0003
20 — Finishing options for the bedroom and fireplace.
21 - In this case, the same loft, but softer, "wooden".
22 - Rough plank finish in natural tone and bright color accents.
23 - A more sophisticated design with a touch of modernity.
24 — An eclectic interior that combines classic and loft.

Minimalism - the beauty of clear lines
This direction does not recognize national borders, it is cosmolithic in its essence. Although in Scandinavia, Japan or America, the design of a modern cottage in the style of minimalism is distinctive, the common features are immediately visible. Clear geometric proportions, clear colors without halftones and shades, a minimum of things and nothing superfluous. Each piece of furniture, picture, souvenir (even a sofa cushion) does not just stand or hang, but occupy a clearly designated place and fulfill its functional or decorative role. nine0003
25 — Characteristic appearance of a modern cottage.
26 — The interior of the cottage is perfectly smooth and painted walls, against which clear graphics are drawn.
27 — Laconic and functional kitchen-dining room.
28 — Only a wonderful view from the window indicates that the interior of a country cottage.
29 - Softer, more delicate, but also minimalism.
Fusion is the art of unification
As an interior design trend, it appeared relatively recently, in the second half of the 20th century. This is a subtle ability to combine objects from different times into an elegant harmonious ensemble. Ideal if the house has a lot of family "values" and memorabilia, and you want to keep them for your children and grandchildren. Sometimes it turns into a fun experiment with colors, textures and shapes, leading to an unexpected and very interesting result. nine0003
30 — The interior decoration is simple and the mix of various items creates a sophisticated atmosphere.
31 - Tiny cottage (50 sq. m.) is cozy, despite the very simple decoration. The interior has a mixture of retro (an easy chair in the form of the 60s of the last century), a modern sofa and lamps, while bright carpets and a funny chair with metal legs look like pop art objects.
32 — The small patio of this house maintains the theme of artistic design, and captivates with its cute, spontaneous appearance. nine0003
See also: Minimalist house - 35 photos of the most beautiful and unusual cottages
33 - Fusion with an oriental accent, wood is used in the walls, and quite modern tiles on the floor.
34 — A great mix of past and future.
35 — The interior design of the fusion cottage gives the interior some mystery.

Interior decoration of the house
The presence of a house built or purchased does not mean its comfort and convenience. And here, not only strong walls and a reliable roof are important, but also excellently executed interior decoration of the house. Just like the construction of a house has its own specific stages, so the decoration of the house has its own rules, moreover, both the inside and the outside. For each of the finishes, completely different finishing materials and construction technologies are used. It will be very difficult for a beginner to do the interior decoration of the house with his own hands, without skills and experience. A person who knows a lot about interior decoration also needs to clearly follow the rules and features in order to avoid mistakes that are not easy to correct later. Interior decoration of the house is considered one of the most difficult processes. After all, the result and the quality of the finish will depend on the correctly performed procedures. And it will be expressed not at all from the appearance, but from the well-being of the stay. nine0003
Today there are many ways of interior decoration, which differ in the materials used and in the installation. And you need to thoroughly choose the version of the design of the room, given the situation.
Finishing the house is a necessary and serious stage. The look, harmony, and comfort of the home depend on it, because the positive in the house affects the health and mood of residents and guests. When performing interior decoration, it is necessary to comply with the norms and technology for working with materials used indoors. And, of course, choose for yourself the highest quality, safest and environmentally friendly materials that will not harm your health. nine0003
If we compare private and country houses, then their interior decoration will be different. A country house has its own characteristics, and its interior decoration is quite heavy, with its own specifics. The interior decoration of a private house is not so complicated, but it also requires special skills, experience and knowledge.
Interior decoration of the house begins from top to bottom. Such an important step is being taken with the aim that the finishing materials that have fallen from the ceiling are not removed from the floor that has already been designed. The process of finishing the ceiling is harder than walls and floors, due to the inconvenient application of materials. nine0003
They are engaged in interior decoration of the house when the subfloor is completely ready, electrical wiring is installed, heating is installed, and plumbing is installed. Next steps: plastering, puttying, painting, gluing, laying tiles, installing flooring, cleaning and finishing work in the rooms.
Remember, in inhabited houses, rough finishing is done a little differently. It is necessary to complete the complete dismantling of obsolete coatings or pour the floor screed, then deal with the walls and ceiling. nine0003
Sometimes there are disputes about what is done first: wall cladding or stretch ceiling installation. There is no unanimous answer to this question, since each of the options has its pros and cons.
Significant windows, good lighting and a fireplace should be mandatory attributes of the interior decoration of a large house.
So, let's highlight the main stages of interior decoration of houses:
-
-
- nine0644
-
- Preparing a design project for the premises. Before proceeding with the repair, you need to think over and agree on the interior design, the style of the room, because the rough finish of the house may also depend on them.
- Home preparation. Free your home from furniture and other interior elements.
- Preparation of finishing materials. Here it is very important to opt for certain building materials and calculate their number for the interior decoration of the house. nine0129
- Carrying out a rough finish of the ceiling and walls.
- Floor finishing (floor screed or flooring installation).
-
What materials are used for the interior of the house?
Finishing in the house in the traditional (wet) way is carried out mainly with the use of plaster mixes. By composition, they are divided into the following types: lime, cement, gypsum. And dry plaster is an easy and quick way to rough finish. nine0003
The interior decoration of the house should be carried out in such a way that the atmosphere reigned in the house, conducive to a comfortable pastime and maximum convenience.
Do not doubt the correctness of the interior decoration of the house, contact the reputable, well-known company "OlympStroyService". Get an attractive look, comfort in the house and one hundred percent confidence that the professional employees of the company will perform all the services you ordered at the highest level and will accurately finish the interior decoration of your house at an affordable price and in a short time.
